<3 very sweet in a hidden, subtle way.

When we saw the movie my bf asked me if Mark Zuckerberg has a mild form of Asperger's syndrom, at least in the film. Because of the difficulties to behave socially and his genius mind (people with Autism or Asperger's are often very, very intelligent). I don't know about that, perhaps the writers of the movie put it in there for the effect...
What I wanted to say was that you captured the charcaters of the movie very well :)

I really enjoyed this. I've been wanting Erica/Mark fic since the movie, and I'm glad I got this because it was so lovely in such a subtle sort of way. The painfulness of their meeting, the awkwardness is really well done. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I get why all the fic is Mark/Eduardo, but man, Erica deserves love too. I want fic about her. I'm glad you liked it, thanks!

MAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT. Man, oh man, it took me FOREVER to figure out what I wanted to write you and then I remembered that we agreed that it was wrong that there was no Erica fic where she's not a roadblock to Mark and Eduardo's love and so that was done. But then I remembered that these are Sorkin characters and there's a reason I don't write Sorkin fic and so much of Mark is the physicality of the way Jesse played him and I didn't think it would translate at all, SO I AM SO VERY HAPPY THAT YOU LOVED IT.

Seriously, so very, very glad. <3<3<3

This story is fantastic. I'm not a Mark/Erica shipper, really, but I love how well you capture them in such a short piece. Even though Erica didn't really seem all that attached to him in the movie at all, she cared enough about him and of course she'd remember those little things about him. Very nice job with this fic. :)
